Today’s song is from the film Ratnavali-1945. It was neither a Flop nor a Hit film. Despite the prediction of the film magazine Film India about its total failure, it did recover its cost and made a good profit also. Although it was labelled as a ‘Social Film’, by the HFGK, it was actually a Costume film, based on a King, Queens and Vazier type story.

The film was made by Amar Pictures, Bombay. It was directed by Virendra Desai, son of the owner-Chimanlal Desai and the music was by Pt. Govind Ram- one of the most respected senior Music Directors of those times. Many younger composers treated him as their Idol. C.Ramchandra was one of such composers. The cast of the film included Surendra, Ratnamala, Maya Banerjee, Usha mantri, Leela Mishra, K.N.Singh, Ansari and others.

Today’s song is from film Ram Vivah-49. This is a duet song by Manna Dey and Geeta Roy. This is the first ever duet of these singers, in their career.

Geeta, who debuted via a chorus song in 1946, won some fame with her songs in film Do Bhai-47, with music by S D Burman. However till about 1950 or so, she was still struggling to make a place in the film line. She had to compete with singers like Lata and Asha as well as Shamshad, Amirbai and Zohrabai too. Manna Dey was an occasional singer, struggling very hard to get established as either a singer or a Music Director. Good sense prevailed and he realised that singing was his forte and he concentrated on it,later. He is one of my favourite singers, who had all the merit and talent, but not a strong Luck ! He became a preferred singer for composers, whenever a Bhajan, religious song or a high pitched song was to be sung.

INDRAASAN (Ekaadashi Mahima) (1952) appears to an obscure movie. In a few places on the internet, the film is spelled as ‘Indrasen’. I went by how the film was spelled on the publicity photographs of some scenes from the film. The film had some well-known actors of the 30s and 40s consisting of Prem Adib, Paro Devi, Ishwarlal, Durga Khote, Nand Kishore, Ranjana etc. The film was produced under the banner of Greenland Pictures, Bombay and was directed by Raja Nene.
